It's Not too Late to Enrich Your Marriage & Learn to Love More Deeply

Connecticut 2019 Worldwide Marriage Encounter Weekend - Register Today!

The weekend is designed to help married couples communicate more intimately with one another in order to deepen and enrich their relationship. The weekend is free from everyday routines, distractions and tensions.

An atmosphere is created where the couple can concentrate exclusively on one another in a private, confidential environment.

A series of presentations that touch on many aspects of marriage is given by three couples, and a Catholic priest.

After each presentation, the couple has time, in the privacy of their own room for personal sharing using the communication techniques learned on the weekend. There are no “group discussions”.

WWME is faithful to the Roman Catholic Church’s teaching that marriage is a covenant that exists between one man and one woman. Any reference to marriage or couple made by WWME is in this context.

The weekend usually starts at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and ends at 4:00 p.m. on Sunday. ALL FAITH EXPRESSIONS ARE WELCOME!

Lifting Our Spouse Up When Faced with Challenges
While bicycling, my husband and I stopped by a pond and noticed a small turtle climbing onto a log in the water. The turtle struggled several times, slipping into the water and trying again before achieving his goal. I commented to my husband, “Too bad the turtle didn’t have someone to lift him up, like we help each other.” All of us have moments when we are not at our best, are filled with self-doubt, or see situations we are facing as problems rather than opportunities. We need someone in our life to lift us up out of our challenging moods and help us...
